Fiocchi Training Dynamics .45 ACP 230gr FMJ Ballistics
Brass Case • FMJ
Solved from this product's advertised 860 fps, 230gr bullet and G1 BC 0.184, with the sight 0.5" over the bore at standard conditions. Compare every zero for .45 ACP.
How to read it: filled circles are the near and far zero, where the bullet's path crosses the line of sight;the triangle is the peak (max ordinate). The shaded band is the 4" vital zone, ±2" either side of the line of sight. The dashed line marks the edge of the hold-dead-on window. The chart is zoomed to where the zero matters; the tables below run to 100 yards.
.45 ACP 230gr with a 10-yard zero
Zeroed at 10 yards with a 0.5" sight height, this load touches the line of sight at 10 yards and never rises more than 0.1" above it (effectively a tangent zero), and is -2.9" at 50 and -18.0" at 100 yards.

Product Overview
Fiocchi Training Dynamics 230-grain FMJ is a full metal jacket .45 ACP load made for target shooting. Fiocchi now sells the same 230-grain load under its Range Dynamics label, at the same 860 fps, and the line is its practice ball at the caliber's standard bullet weight. It leaves the muzzle with 378 ft-lbs of energy.
Zeroed at 25 yards, it lands 2.6 inches low at 50 yards and still holds 827 fps there. Estimated recoil in a compact pistol is 9.9 ft-lbs, against 9.4 for CCI Blazer 230-grain FMJ.
If you're cross-shopping, Sellier and Bellot 230-grain FMJ is 7 fps slower with 6 ft-lbs less at the muzzle. CCI Blazer 230-grain FMJ is the mildest compared, 30 fps slower with 26 ft-lbs less.
- Keeps 350 of its 378 ft-lbs at 50 yards, 93 percent of the muzzle figure
- The most muzzle energy of the loads compared
- Sold under the Range Dynamics name as well, so the same load reaches shelves under two labels
- The hardest-kicking load compared
- Lead left exposed at the bullet base, which some indoor ranges restrict
